This week, we celebrate Nurse Practitioner week and recognize the exceptional care provided by our very own Christiane and all the NPs serving our community.

Nurse Practitioners play a vital role in delivering care throughout our community. From providing expert care to offering comfort and understanding, they make a meaningful difference every day.

Thank you NPs for everything you do! 🩺🌟

According to CIHI, in 2024, the supply of Nurse Practitioners (NPs) in Canada was 9,891— a 9.5% increase from 2023! Yukon (5.6), Newfoundland and Labrador (5.3), and Prince Edward Island (4.4) have the highest supply of nurse practitioners per 100,000 population, compared to the national average of 2.4. The demand for nurse practitioners continues to grow, as they deliver comprehensive care across the healthcare continuum and address emerging challenges within the system.

We proudly recognize the vital role Nurse Practitioners play in strengthening Canada’s health-care system and celebrate our NP members during Nurse Practitioner Week, November 9–15.

Today we celebrate an incredible milestone for Christiane - 25 years of being a Nurse Practitioner! 🎉

Her dedication, compassion, and commitment to providing exceptional care have made a great impact on her patients, colleagues, and our community. She's almost always the first one in the office and the last one to leave. We are so thankful for her!

Congratulations, Christiane! 💛

We had a little celebration for her this afternoon and enjoyed the best fresh cinnamon buns we've ever had!! Thank you to Homemade Breads & Sweets right here in Cochrane!

We are offering the annual flu shot at the Cochrane Family Health Team.

Open to ALL residents of Cochrane, not just those registered with us. Patients that already have scheduled visits with their health care providers will be offered the flu shot as well.

More dates will be added as we receive more vaccines*

An amazing organization that we don’t think most people know about!

This moving video tells the story of Cochrane’s own Margaret Noland, who needed knee surgery but couldn’t afford to travel for it.

Thanks to Hope Air, she was flown to receive the care she needed, lifting a heavy financial and emotional burden from her shoulders.

Margaret’s journey shows the true power of Hope Air, giving patients across Canada not just a flight but a lifeline to better health and hope for the future.

For more information about Hope Air, please check out their website, https://hopeair.ca, or their page Hope Air

Medical appointments can come with several unexpected costs, and that is especially true for people who must travel far distances to get the help they need. ...
